I'm in Michigan, even around where I live (which sucks), you couldn't get 5 houses for $100k that were move in ready, unless you're looking to do D Class 'renovations' for D Class neighborhoods and tenants? 

Quote from @Stephanie Ford: @Josh Pulley if you want to build more capital to have options to then you should try wholesaling.

Last year I deducted the total cost of a  Ford F350 and Travel Trailer using section 179 and ended up paying pennies on the dollar of my rental income.   

Does anyone know the process and the cost for de-winterizing a home in Houston?

And for those investors out there who say there are deals out there, you are also right.Henry Ford said it best "If you think you can or can't do a thing, you are right".The reason for me sharing this purchase is to let everyone out there know that they have the ability to create their own future.  

growing market, MFH properties sell fast. plenty of companies are coming here and staying plus the large ones that have been here for years (UPS, Humana, Ford, GE, Yum!

Also add in Lansing and ford heights and chicago heights.

@Melissa Ford well this is a home that has been owned since 2006, however, instead of selling it.

The simple answer I come up with is the Henry Ford quote of "If you think you can or you think you can't - you're right".  

To add on to what @Travis Biziorek said with regards to having a good reason to be there, I was traveling to Detroit frequently for automotive work and my in laws are there, I got married there last year in a Ford museum.
